My Interests

Drawing, painting, walking through the city and people watching, singing in the shower...as Mel knows, I'm a hardcore kareoke fan (Sonya's wedding) after a few shots. Woodcut and metal letterpress type have been on my mind. Rummaging through antique thrift stores and other-people's-junk is an endless day of bliss, i love old things, broken and musty perfectly-imperfect things.

I'd like to meet:

...Anything acoustic, a little bit sultry and rough around the edges that'll makes you good coffee in the morning, cooks a mean indian dish, spontaneously breakdances when possible, & isn't afraid of subtitles...

Music:

Lately its been Kings of Convenience on shuffle, repeat - jumping around the kitchen to I'd Rather Dance with You; Brazilian Girls; can't get enough of The Jayhawkes; Kaki King; Beatles always; old Pixies when i want to scream, Arcade Fire, the Stars; StereoLab; Iron & Wine; sillysilly Mt. Goats; Nickel Creek rocks my car CD player's world; Cat Power COVERS warm me on a cold night; and always the sweet sounds of local Cary Ann Hearst.

Movies:

Me U & Everyone We Know (GO RENT THIS MOVIE), I Heart Huckabees, Rushmore, The Zero Effect, The Piano, Harold & Maude (all time favorite), the Arctic Circle, Butcher Boy, Drop Dead Fred, June Bug, Breakfast on Pluto

Books:

write now... LUCKY GIRLS, a collection of short stories written by one author - about women, all tied to the East.

Heroes:

Anyone who has realized their creative capacity into some satisfying form that allows themselves their greatest happiness rich or poor, with enough to eat and toast and sleep.
